ReFrame 2026
Presented in person from January 30 – February 1 and online across Canada from February 3 – 8, ReFrame 2026 was a powerful shared experience and a resounding success.
We are deeply grateful to the audiences, artists, partners, funders, sponsors, and volunteers who made this magic possible. We look forward to gathering throughout the year for community programming and igniting the long winter nights once more at ReFrame 2027.
